Faboulous playing and terrific Hammond sound! Congratulations!
Gave me chills....this is what the Hammond and Hammond clones do best.
Yup. It's the hairs on the arms test for me every time. This did it.
I listen carefully to find all the songs and I feel there is always something else to be discovered. you are amazing!!!
Thank you so much!
Indeed :) and the HX3 sounds beautiful!
Thank you so much! Yeah, nothing beats a real leslie... so smooth and beautiful.
Simon Oslender erweist der Königin aller Orgeln genau die Ehre, die sie verdient...einfach unschlagbar und nicht zu imitieren, egal, was sie erfinden und meinen...! Bravo Simon...super!
I would love to see this same video re-done with the latest HX3 using the internal Leslie sim rather than a real one. AMAZING GRACE....that was awesome!
Nothing better than gospel with very good hammond sound
i could listen to you 24/7 365
fantastic!
You're a gift from heaven to mankind.
GREAT!!!!!
Yep, that's a little rendition of amazing grace! :)
Well, the blues is where everything begins in my opinion. Start with the blues scales and expand them step by step, play licks until everything becomes familiar. That's what I did - I am a blues oriented jazz/funk player who also loves gospel.
Thank you so much!
Simon Oslender Geil! Der beste HX3-Sound, den ich auf YT gehört habe. Hier klingt sie wirklich wie 'ne echte Hammond!
HX3 (keyboardpartner) is located in Hannover, Germany. This particular organ is a custom made B3-like clone based on the HX3. They normally don't make complete organs, just the sound engine (circuit board) and accessories.
1:00 - 1:03 Don't Stop me now (Queen)
you did paid attention! nice detail
Yeah... groove!!!
Played with so much passion, thank you so much for putting this on you tube. It's such a pleasure to listen to quality. Are you doing any tours in England in the future?. I would like to see you play live.Thx
Simon Oslender Geil! Der beste HX3-Sound, den ich auf YT gehört habe. Hier klingt sie wirklich wie 'ne echte Hammond!
Freut mich! Danke! Check mal ein paar andere Videos auf meinem Channel, da ist noch einiges mit HX3. :)
Schon geschehen. :)
Wenn jetzt noch jemand serienmäßig so original aussehende Outfits für die Sound Unit herstellen würde, könnte ich glatt vom Traum von einer XK-5 abkommen. Aber Einzelanfertigungen in liebevoller Handarbeit sind wohl auch nicht billiger als das Original, oder?
Schau mal nach MAG Organs aus Prag. Das Modell P2 ist sehr nah am Original und hat ein HX3-Innenleben.
Ach, die gibt's jetzt auch im Holz-Look! Die bisherigen giftgrünen
Seitenteile habe mich immer fatal an 60er-Jahre-Transistororgeln
erinnert. Danke jedenfalls. :)
Yea, yea!!!!!
WOW Amazing !!!!
thanks a lot man !!
Simon Oslender I'd love one of those beasts but don't have the room. Would it be possible to get close to your sounds using the Tyros 5 Organ World Drawbars? Could you share some drawbar/registration settings?
*****
Mark Bradshaw Indeed, impossible with a Tyros. Just get the new HX3 expander module, it's tiny and sounds great like every other HX3 organ (mine, for example).
I play the Tyros 2...the Tyros 4...the Korg Kronos X...even the old Casio PX Privia 555...[3] HAMMOND A100s and HS SK-1 73. The Tyros line has an ethereal and FAT DSP for Leslie Effects with chorus to the point I'm wondering why i own a hammond SK-1 73 and the Kronos X boards. I use Generation 2 JBL EON 15s and EON10s for speakers. These are superior to the newest JBL EON615s which I just returned. So the hammond B3 tonewheel sound CLONE 'magic ingredients' must be from the real Leslies with augmented TUBE amps AND the particular Artist-Musician. I love the portability of the SK-1 but mau part with it. THe Kronos X is nice in many ways but the Tyros 4 instrument Voices and its tweakable DSPs outshines many instruments I've mentioned. I have not tried the Crumars or HX3's yet.
Und immer mochsau gail, da bekomm icht wirklich lust mir ne Uhl orgel zu holen
Muito bom
Hi Simon, it's now 2018 and I would love to know your opinions on the new clones available compared to this setup (if you still have it). I'm using a Legend Live updated to 1.6.1 with the editor which sounds far better now than when originally launched (due to clever owners tweaking all the settings and posting for others to use) !!
Even Crumar have upped the game with the single manual Mojo (dual manual to follow).
Has the HX3 been modified since this video was posted ?
Bye the way, your playings up there with the best.
Hi Simon, guys,
please could you tell are all clonewheels with HX3 engine (UHL, MAG...) sound absolutely the same? There are no some custom modifications for any of it? UHL X3 sounds incredible, I wonder will it sound the same If I buy the HX3 organ module and drawbars? Thank you!
I haven't tried all of them but I did try both the UHL and the HX3 module and they're the same. Wolfgang UHL changes a few of the settings to his taste before delivering the X3s (can easily be changed again in the menu) but other than that, they're identical as far as I know.
Sweeeet :-D
Hi Simon, who built that organ for you? It almost looks like a hammond console with the guts replaced...
Carsten Meyer (CEO of Keyboardpartner, inventor of the HX3 board) built this organ in cooperation with "B.A.S.S." from Hamburg. It's a custom built cabinet with Fatar keybeds, drawbars from an old Hammond Concorde and the Percussion/Vibrato rocker switches from an M3. It feels (and looks) super real.
Hello ;very nice sound indeed.As an organist myself i am looking for the "portable real sound" and your HX3 is really impressive!!! Could you tell me if this is the "HOAX" system or something else.Where can I find this ? Thanks again for the sare and great playing.Patrick from France.
Thinking of getting a HX3 module to replace my KeyB Live. Would I be doing the right thing Simon?
Definitely. Although I also like the KeyB for its clarity and its smooth sound (great leslie simulation), I prefer the HX3 because it reacts to the player in a different way. Whenever you want it to scream, it will scream or whenever you wanna make it soft and creamy... it reacts just like a vintage organ. There's no clone on the market that emulates the sound of a vintage Hammond organ perfectly but the HX3 is, IMHO, the only one that gives you the actual feeling of a real console coupled with a great sound (especially the Chorus is amazing, as is the top and bottom end of the sound).
Always remember: it will never sound like in this video if you don't add a real Leslie.
My suggestion: try to control the HX3 module with the KeyB. In this case you have both options and the HX3 is completely controlled by all the KeyB drawbars/buttons.
Simon Oslender Thanks Simon. I agree that the Leslie is half the character and no digital sim will move air like a 147 or a 122. I have to compromise because of a lack of space and portability so it's the HX3 or the KeyB I'm afraid :-( At the moment I use a Leslie 21Mk2. I hope to get a set of Ocean Beach drawbars or similar. By the way, your playing gives me goosebumps :-)
Elmo Slack Don't think the little HX3 midi expander module will need any additional space. Just put it on top of the KeyB, hook it up via midi and you're good. Leslie 21mk2 is a nice little thing - much better than a full simulation!
Thanks so much man! :)
I have a Kronos and a XK1 will it work well with either? I'm totally impressed with the sound.
0:05 that low end sounds so hefty and tremendous, just like a real hammond should :)
Amazing, could i get the chords?
are you still holland based man? I've gotta come hear you play if I'm over that way!
I was Germany based until this summer. Now I'm based in Rotterdam, NL, but playing throughout the central european countries, Germany, NL, Switzerland, France etc.... Please come and see a show! :)
I like the click ..that click seems a lill to bright but its usefull
That's a real Leslie. Not sure the internal rotary will sound that great
They aint too proud of it are they?
Available in the US?
All of my summations of Hammond clones:
-if a vegi-burger could speak...
-sounds like a fat-free milkshake...
- sounds like it's low in iron...
- In a side by side test with a real Hammond C3, the Hammond SK2 really does sound identical, but with one vital ingredient missing. Upon closer comparison it came to me what the ingredient was. It was the audible effect of the magnetism in motion itself! This has prompted me to investigate the possibility of recreating this very subdued, but apparently very necessary electromagnetic connection in order to more precisely recreate the true Hammond tone wheel sound
Sometimes the simplest inventions are the best!
With that in mind lets consider a very simple multi-frequency tone wheel of sorts, but instead of this tone wheel being a steel disc with a wavy edge in the shape of a sine wave, picture a tone wheel with a magnetically conductive edge that similar to the ever changing surface of a speaker cone.

HAMMOND CLONE WHEEL ORGANS ARE MISSING THE SOUND OF MAGNETISM...
Well, I don't really get what this has to do with this HX3 demo video... That said, you should really check the HX3 - it's by far the only clone that responds to your playing in a way hardly inferior to the original. Of course, there's differences - it's still a clone and nothing beats the real thing (which is undoubted) but if you are dependent on playing clones (concerning logistical reasons), the HX3 is the way to go. We all know that a vintage hammond is a vintage hammond, no need to argue about that.
Simon Oslender Yes, I prefer the HOAX Hammond myself. And argue? Never. I am about advancement in technology. So that has plenty to do with ANY Hammond clone video where the model of the clone is listed in the title of the video. If it was a video of Hammond playing in general on a clone or a real Hammond, but without mention of which clone model in the title, I wouldn't feel the necessity to point out that we can do better, and how this might be possible. Hey, it's not like I am sitting on my ideas and selling them as products once 'I' build them, I am offering up the ideas to EVERYONE to attempt a better way to miniaturize a more realistic Hammond sound. And if you read the continuation on my blog ( which I NEVER have continued anything on my blog, btw, this is a first!) you would see that I believe it is possible to make an electromechanical THROUGHPUT circuit that would allow any current clone to sound more Hammond like, not some 'all new clone' technology. However, if there were too many glitches in applying current clones to this technology I'd be the first to ditch all of the clones and start over from a completely different perspective. In fact that's how I think anyway when it comes to analog and digital. I never say analog-vs-digital. No, in 2014 I say analog AND digital! And one step further is analog AND digital AND electromechanical. THAT is the future and I am here to invite ALL ENGINEERS to join the cause for music. In this case- a better miniaturization of harmonic electromechanical electromagnetic tone generation of sine waves, but with special attention paid to the electromechanical artifacts resultant in the cherished Hammond Model A, BC,CV, B2.C2,RT2,B3,C3,RT3,A100,H100 in particular, as well as the impedance relationships and tonal behavior resulting from the vacuum tube preamp/power amp, particular output transformer and speaker config.
That is not arguing, it's being proactive! Until I hear a better demo of an up close and personal side by side test of a HOAX clone, or any other FPGA clone I don't really have any way of knowing how the FPGA sounds in a real life environment. A real shame because I really like how the HOAX sounds, but nobody cares about doing these comparisons in a video ( not just an audio file comparison, I've heard that and that is when the HOAX impressed me the most...but why not more real life comparisons??).
It's about the music not the money. I have plenty of great ideas that are practical, possible, and as pure and full of life as real analog electronic and acoustic instruments. The way I see it is lets get the Hammond right in a clone and everything else will fall into place. My goals are beyond Hammond, I love Conn,Wurlitzer, Gulbransen,and Rodgers organs too. I'm more than a butt head clone -vs-real argueing fool.

I get your point. Well, give me a hammond for a few days and I'll upload a video in next to no time. This summer I might buy my first real thing so I'll do a video then for sure. The problem is that Carsten Meyer and the other guys involved have a full time job and do the HX3 thing additionally. The new expander sells well, so they are extremely busy - please understand that there is absolutely no time to produce demos like this at the moment.
If I had a real hammond, I'd do a video like that of course. There actually is one, called "Hammond B3 vs. HOAX3", where Lutz Krajenski plays both of them. With leslie simulation and real leslie. The simulation was not final at that point.
I don't think it's all about perfection. It's about the dirt, the soul, the warmth and that screamin upper octaves. If a clone has that, nobody will care about minimal differences. I feel like many clones are just trying to hard to be perfect. As a result they lack warmth, soul and that grease.
As you said, it's about the music - not the money, not the technical details. It's just about the music, the soul and having fun playing.
Nobody called you something like a "butt head clone -vs-real argueing fool". It's just that we all have been through that "clone vs real thing"-discussion and I wanted to prevent this. Sorry if I was wrong to think that this was your point.
Actually my comment was beyond the somewhat played out comparison between real versus clone. Actually to the contrary, the clones are pretty much identical to a real B3 in terms of tone, feel, timbre, quirks, etc. And that is why after closer listening to real versus clone I used my technical engineering, musical background to deduce that the most obvious thing missing from the digital version after it so carefully and accurately reproduces the B3 is the action of the PHYSICAL ELECTROMAGNETISM. As I say, it is a TECHNICAL observation more than an emotional one in this instance, describing this difference. As a matter of fact I have not heard anyone else bring up this aspect of comparison between real versus clones.
Science is advancing and soon we will be able to accurately utilize MICRO-ELECTRO-MECHANICAL- SYSTEMS, or MEMS for musical instrument manufacture. A whole world of new sounds await, and in this new world I anticipate an even more perfected B3 clone, one that is MICRO-PHYSICALLY designed, which includes that magnetism that is the major difference...but of course these comparisons are not meant for an arena of 'what's better bla bla bla', they are both excellent, but we all know that the B3 needs to BE a B3, right? When the lights are dimmed and the tubes are blazing, impedance between the AO-28 preamp and the Leslie 122 is dead on tight, and those Jensen speakers, ahh'! So of course the real deal is a tall order to imitate accurately to a tee. Of course in the scheme of things it doesn't matter, but as musicians who are tone heads we really can detect things in sound most people would call trivial. The irony is that the unexplainable subtleties that we drool over after sitting and playing a real Hammond through a Leslie ( and Hammond tone cabs sound awesome too, love my HR40 and ER20 cabs).
The WURLITZER ELECTROSTATIC FREE-REED ORGANS ( see NSHOS WURLI 4600 article) are also electromechanical wonders like the Hammond. If you listen to some of Ken Griffins albums with him on the Wurlitzer 4600 you'll be blown away. Most people think he just played Hammond, but he also played the Wurlitzer and even Conn non recordings.
So yeah, just something about real tone wheels and real reeds being blasted with 300 volts and out comes a signal as if the reed has become a condenser mic, not just 'picked up', but at one with the sound source and the output capturer. The Hammond tone wheel system is similar that way in that the pick-up does more than transmit the signal, it is a part of that signal. Not unlike an electric guitar in that respect. A Hammond IS an electric guitar in theory, but uses spinning wheels instead of vibrating strings:)
Where is this organ made?
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that!
It would be just amazing to tour in England but at the moment unfortunately there's nothing planned yet. If you got any gigs, just hit me up via my website (simonoslender.webs.com)!
Thanks again man - I hope to hear from you.
Simon
Hi!
You're right. The HX3 is the current version of the organ formerly called "HOAX". The name changed but it's still the same sound engine basically - just improved. You can find it here: shop.keyboardpartner.de
This is just the board (sound engine). You'll have to find an organ to implant it. A Korg BX3, a Hammond XB5 and many more will work fine. just drop me a line in YT private Message or email via my website (simonoslender.webs.com) so we can discuss and I can give some advices.
Simon
Ahh, everything tastes better with a dash of REAL TUBE LESLIE :-)
HI is possible partiture Chords?
Sorry, this was all improvised on the spot... No sheet music available. May you can transcribe it ;)
hey man..... i love you...... so great ... :-) :-)
wow man thank you so much! :)))
nice rendition what leslie did u use
Delroy white Thanks! That's my Leslie 245, internally a 145, cabinet is a bit different though.
Ok
I didn't know it had internal Leslie's like that nice
No it's not the internal Simulation, it's a real tube leslie. You can spot it in the top area of the video. ;)
Oh my bad
Why didn’t I get the memo that the HX3 kicks ass?
